Game Prices are going up again!

[Mega Ultra Chicken]

Games for the Switch 2 will cost $80-$90. Plus, GTA VI will probably be priced at $100 and still sell well.

My current favorite game was $40 on release and it came out last year.
You don't need to spend $80-100 on the AAA to have fun.

TARIFF

I'm not confident it's just that. Digital is going up to $80 and digital goods aren't tariffed. It'd make sense if digital and physical were price matched, like usual, but digital is cheaper. It vaguely suggests they were planning on going up to $80 anyway, because physical and digital are price matched.

Maybe $90 for physical is because of tariffs though. 25% of 70 is 17.50 which rounds up to $90, though if digital costs $80 that suggests Nintendo is absorbing $7.50 of the tariff.

They might also just be testing the waters 'cause they saw people were willing to pay $70.

Venom being late to the party again.

It's too bad that no one is going to buy games like Dragon Age: Failguard.

People might. Just because it's not a good Dragon Age game doesn't mean it's not a good game.

Or this could be pre tariff.

Nintendo made digital that price because they know they can get away with it.

If that's the case games are going to cost more like $120. at least assuming the finished product is produced in Japan.

I don't think Nintendo is that tone deaf to price sensitivity. They're usually the affordable ones. They learned the value of competitive value with the game-boy, and then continued on the trend of cheapness by making every console since at least the Wii a cut down cheaper alternative to what Sony and Microsoft offers.

I cant believe that rumor about gta being 100$ might be true

Nintendo is not the affordable one anymore.

Nintendo wasn't affordable during the Switch 1's lifecycle either. They charge $60 for games, but never drop the prices by much.

Watch that. Games are always expensive.

Example:

R-Type for the Sega Master System was $70 in 1987. That's $195.75 today.

The SMS is an 8 bit system by the way.

Yeah, and we also don't own the games anymore. If you wanted to play the game, you would still need to download content instead of the CD having everything on the disc.

Others will follow. No way they will let this chance passes when they already had an enabler

Yea game prices have always been above $70

but there is one difference, your parents could afford that price because their home prices weren't insane because they hadn't let a stupid amount of people into Canada and the US yet.
